@emmasoft,

My sister-in-law has joined the StanbicIBTC MMF train. I helped her opened the account online and she got her e-account the next day. Na by 6:10am yesterday she wake me up saying she has done a transfer to commence the journey. Na the same 6:10am she wake me up this morning that she has logged in to the online portal and already seen her interest for one day.

Please did you validate her bvn? I have been getting an error message whenever I tried doing so.

Having difficulty validating my bvn, what should I do?

Abeg who paid Tuition fee recently using Form A through First bank?
The bank charged me £25 for a tuition of £800 and the most annoying thing is that, the charges was deducted from the £800 despite having enough cash in my bank account..

ebunstic:
For Form A, use Wema Bank. School Fees was paid next day on two occasions.

For PTA or BTA, you can use Travelex BDC. They are both at the arrival and departure wings of the MM International airport. They use the CBN approved rates but you must have a return ticket.

Thank you.

Thanks for this info but does Travelex BDC also operate in Nnamdi Azikwe international Airport?

Abuja or lagos

Angeltemmy1:
Good day all,

I did biometrics on 22nd September, yet to get any feedback? Should I be worried? Is there anything I can do?

Thanks.

Someone I know did biometrics on 22nd too but yet to receive a decision mail.. today is you guys 15working days.

Can someone please suggest a bank that's gives PTA?
I for not buy return ticket aswear

Thanks dear.. I'm surprised you remembered that, congrats to us despite the refusal we made it this time around.

Actually wakanow agent contacted me after the first attempt of doing it my self, she helped me with the booking, after that I transferred cash into one of their company's account.

Alright Congrats. I remember it was me and you that had refusal in January that our sponsorship letters were rejected. That’s why I asked if yours had come through now.

Okay not a bad price too. The 361k with baggage i saw was for 19th so maybe the date difference is the reason for the price difference.

You paid with a dollar card right?

LagosismyHome:
Arrival time is always stated in the time of the country you are arriving.....never the departure country time ... same way departure time is on the departure country time. So you arrive 2.35pm uk time

However Nigeria and uk are currently on the same time until Oct 25 when the clock would change

Thank you ma'am

A quick one..

If my flight is 8:15- 2:35 from Abuja to London.

Using London time, will I be arriving London
@ 1:35?? As Nigeria is 1hour ahead(GMT)

I plan on using National express from terminal 5 to Coventry or Birmingham which ever I see feasible...(haven't booked yet as I'm not sure of the timing)

Please can someone help me with the timing?

Kindly forgive my ignorance..I only intend to plan my journey well..

dami24:
Abuja to Manchester

Abuja to London i saw 361k for return


Fwaz have you gotten your visa?

Yes I have gotten and I even booked BA for 381k to London (return).. departing on 24 of this month God's willing..
I saw 355k on there website without baggage, with baggage I paid 381k

Please is it from Abuja to London Heathrow?

dami24:
I got 395k on the website for return ticket while the agent from wakanow told me 485k. So the website appears to be better if booking return

Decision mail just dropped by 7:44am.

Date of biometrics: 15th September.

Sure! I thought I added the decision mail part coz thats what actually got my attention

dami24:
Nope! I don’t think that is enough.

One time I used standard, I got non straight forward mail the next day after biometrics.

If you had said getting decision mail on 18th was enough to know that the application was considered under priority... that would be more acceptable

For you to have gotten a Non straight forward mail after 2days of your biometrics is enough to tell your that your Visa was processed under priority.
Congrats

Iamslickp:

Is it for one-way?

Mma24:
I wasn't asked my age, when I booked yesterday. Tho am under 30...but call their call centre again and book as a friend of mine 30+ also used the student promo. I booked Lagos to Edinburgh Scotland yesterday for #214,600 for 10th Oct and that's the best offer I have seen for my destination.

Flezi1:
I booked return 245k just two days ago BA. Keep checking the portal the price fluctuates.I actually pain 400k only to see 245k after 1 hour. I cancelled and rebooked.

Please do u mean one-way? Is it on wakanow.com or directly from British airways site.. was it under the student discount?

Elizabeth28:
Guys please if you submit a bank statement older than 31 days,lets say 48 days or thereabout, would it negatively affect the application.
I did not know about the bank statement being 31 days old as at the time of submission

I am very worried, someone should help me please with answer.

If it's more than 31 days from your day of printing then I'm afraid you need to reprint another one.

Luseyi:

Starling: https://www.starlingbank.com/
You open your account from your phone and have your debit card delivered to your address. You can use your BRP, passport or DL when opening. Payment into the account will be via bank transfers or the post office since they don't have brick and mortar outlets. Debit cards arrive in 2-5 working days.

Thank you for the detailed info.. After opening the account.. is it preferable to transfer Naira to pound using transferwise or just through your normal naira bank transfer? Trying to avoid bank charges�

Pwettybii:
Please is there anyone that did biometric on the 11th and has gotten visa (standard)
Also apart from using the tls app what other way can we track our application.cos this tls doesn’t say much ,been on dmc since ,this wait is sickening .someone mentioned a link ,I didn’t see mine when I checked pls can you post the link here .thank you
Good luck to all hopefuls

If you did the application your self, there is a link sent to ur mail by UKVI which you can easily return to your application using your password..

Return to your application, click on provide documents and biometric. You will be directed to Tls website, from there you will see track my application

Lesley90:
Good evening house, please anybody going to Coventry university here... please let’s link up

You can't pass that 1st October.. hope you opt for priority so that a decision can be made on your application in a week time.. for a decision to be made on a standard visa it usually takes 15working days.
I will suggest you opt for priority or super priority if it's still available or rather go for walk-in tomorrow for you to be able to catch up with your latest resumption date. Hope it helps

Nattiejt:
Hello, the latest resumption date on my CAS is October 1st, whereas my interview is slated for 14th of September. I hope I can resume any time in Oct?

What's your latest resumption date? You can start your course online you know..some schools are giving till February as latest resumption date..

Bashybabe2020:
@mimilyrics @lagosismyhome

My interview is scheduled for 18th and I’m resuming school in October 12th , is the date too late considering I have to wait for 2weeks for a decision from tls? Should I pay for a walk in instead and try to book a closer date or just wait till 18th

Please kindly reply back

Brightingsus:
That's even worse!!! You need updated account statement but make sure updating it wouldn't jeopardise your application, like additional incoming and outgoing funds and account balance.

The balance is much ok since before the 30june ..didnt drop below the requirement..
I only want the statement from June or july because I only made fewer transactions in August. NB money still intact, just to show transaction on the statement

Brightingsus:

Sorry my bad..wanted to say 30june to 1st September. Since I'm submitting the application today.
Hope I'm good to go?
Wil you suggest from 3rd August to 1st September?

Brightingsus:
30th June to 1st Sept is somewhat obsolete for the purpose of UK visa application, ought to be within 28 days.

Sorry my bad.. it's actually 1st September not August.. i.e June 30 to 1st September

LagosismyHome:
Yes you can even do 6 months or one year.. the 28 days is more like the minimum but still essential having the money on the last 28days ti when you will submit

But I don't think 1st of August end date and submitting today is a good idea . That is cutting to close to the other requirements of 31 days

Can one submit a statement that is morethan 28days with his application? Let's say From 30june to 1st September
Visa application will be submitted today 1st September.

Thinking of printing the statement tomorrow 2nd September so that the transaction on 1st September will be captured.

Thanks for your response ma'am. Please can you further explain the last part?
